If nothing else, they are more distinct/easier to spot than regular buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Anyway, I'm just wondering why you don't like the fake trolley idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95Crash Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) Also, got a tip to head over to a bar called Krug's that supposedly had great burgers. DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT.http://glocallynewark.com/wordpress/?p=1813 There is a pretty decent thread set up specifically for Food around The Rock that is convenient for anyone interested in checking out many of the local eating establishments.

geoffbailey Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 http://newarknjcre.wordpress.com/2009/04/2...ed-with-arenas/ The NYC Market is over-saturated with new sporting venues. NJ Devils and the Pru Center are in the best position due to being first movers while others are struggling with ticket sales, sponsorships, construction financing, etc... Great idea for the state of NJ to finance a refurb of the IZOD center... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuadeConnolly Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Absolutely pained me to have to go back to the site of last night's travesty so soon... but for anyone interested, there was a commercial shoot at the Rock today.

kevlar Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I saw this when walking on commerce st right across from the spot lounge the other day: The stuff was just put up on the windows over the past week but no inside construction yet.

Hopefully a website of something will pop up soon Actually it has been up there for about a month or so. The building was purchased in March for $1,050,000 including the liquor license valued around $150,000. They are hoping to open mid summer.

The Rock 07 Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Here's an article on the Pabst Blue Ribbon bottle from the old plant in Newark. It is currently in a scrapyard in the Ironbound. The article mentions that Vanderbeek was interested in purchasing the bottle for the entry plaza on Edison Place but plans have been stalled thanks to the rent dispute between the Newark Housing Authority and the Devils. Pabst Bottle Another thought... I'm planning out my summer vacation and one of my stops is Columbus and the Arena District around Nationwide Arena is exactly what I have envisioned for around Prudential Center. They saved the old buildings, restored them, and used some as fronts on new buildings, and they built new buildings that look old but are modern. After I go there, I'll have pictures and stuff to say, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should sell your beach house and open a bar! You could sell cupcake shooters!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevil26 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 You should sell your beach house and open a bar! You could sell cupcake shooters!! After careful consideration, I'll keep the beach house lol.. Owning a bar around the Rock would probably be a blast during the season. A liquor license is about 150-200k though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thiswontwork Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Sad part is these listing only prove how long its going to take to create the environment promised when the Rock was being built. Having looked at liquor licenses and the cost per a square foot I can personally tell you it's extreemly difficult to make it work with the way people pricing these out. I think it's sad that two of the buildings listed there for sale were designated for redevelopment and basically given to the current owner who will do nothing but flip them for a easy profit.

I went to college at NJIT and let me tell you compared to the late 90s, Newark is revitilizing at warp speed thanks to the Devils. Newark is the city god forgot so it takes some time to move anything there. Give it a few years, and hopefully a longer playoff season and there will have to be more businesses to handle the tourists coming in during the May/June days looking to hang out in good weather.
